The White Jade Tower was different from other places. It wasn't a place that anyone could go to just because they wanted to. This was because it was located in the Netherworld, and there was a barrier separating the Netherworld and the real world … Although this barrier had already become very thin, if it was just Tang Hao and the others, they wouldn't be able to do anything.
But with Ling Meng here, everything was not a problem.
When Ling Meng led everyone into the pitch-black, abyss-like vortex, everyone suddenly felt the world spinning around them. It was as if the world had turned upside down. By the time they regained their senses, all of them had fallen onto the cold stone floor.
"Is the space here upside down? It's amazing. "
"I've had another incredible experience."
"It's like the two sides of a mirror."
"Sure enough, in the Fantasy Village, you can't be bound by common sense."
Listening to the four people's sighs, Tang Hao said with a straight face, "This is common sense, my friends!"
"What are you sighing about? Let's go." Ling Meng was too lazy to care about them, or rather, she had memorized Tang Hao's words, "When we arrive at the White Jade Tower, I will treat her to a super big meal." She directly walked up the stone steps.
If they arrived at the White Jade Tower earlier, they could eat a big meal earlier. After flying for so long and fighting the Tengu, they were already a little hungry.
Everyone followed Ling Meng's gaze and saw a huge black abyss filled with white fog in front of them. They did not know if it was pure darkness or a real hell. In the middle, there were many winding stone steps, long, long, and endless. There were countless lanterns hanging on both sides, as if it was a bridge connecting heaven and earth.
The White Jade Tower, was it at the top of these stone steps?
Except for Tang Hao, everyone else had a subtle feeling. When they stepped on the stone steps, the white fog in the air made them feel a trace of cold and gloomy.
"It's like the residence of evil spirits!" Zoro almost instinctively covered the hilt of his sword.
Among the six people present, Yueyin was a God, Yueyin was an Undead, and Tang Hao, Zoro, and Kirito were all living human beings. The atmosphere of the Underworld made them somewhat uncomfortable.
"What do you mean? It's a place where the undead live." Tang Hao rubbed his arm, feeling a little cold.
"By the way, what would happen if we fall from here?" Kirito looked at the endless darkness on both sides and couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know. Maybe you can give it a try and tell us the answer later."
"Forget it …"
Kirito immediately gave up, he didn't want to try this kind of thing.
The staircase was very long. Everyone walked step by step for a long time before the scenery in front of them gradually changed. When they walked all the stone steps, the entire Netherworld appeared before their eyes.
"So, so spectacular!"
The first thing that entered everyone's eyes was a road filled with cherry trees. In spring, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. When the wind blew, countless petals fluttered in the air like pink butterflies. Then, with the invisible spiritual energy, they flew higher.
A little further away was a land filled with strange rocks. The huge stone pillars were like tombstones, or like sealing stones, piercing through the entire land. As far as the eye could see, there was a towering tree that was almost impossible to exist in reality.
Misaka Mikoto's eyes widened in disbelief. In her imagination, the so-called Netherworld must be a gloomy and desolate place. After all, it was a world of the dead. But looking at the sky full of cherry blossoms, there was no desolation at all. It was simply beautiful.
Just this scene alone was enough to make her feel that this trip was not in vain.
However …
"Why isn't that tree blooming?"
Misaka Mikoto pointed at the towering tree that seemed to stand at the end of the world and asked.
If that tree blooms, it should have the most beautiful cherry blossoms, right?
"That's the West Treant. In general, it's a demonic tree. Once it blooms, bad things will happen. Also …" Tang Hao looked at Ling Meng. Euonymus had once tried to make the West Treant bloom to cause a change in the spring snow. In the end, she was beaten up by Ling Meng and almost had her head split open.
However, Ling Meng did not care about such trivial matters. Seeing that everyone was standing there looking at the cherry blossoms, she quickly urged, "Hurry up, what are you waiting for? This is only the courtyard, we haven't reached the White Jade Tower yet. "
Cherry blossoms could be seen at any time, but a feast was not something that could be eaten every day!
The White Jade Tower was an exotic Japanese-style pavilion. It was concave in shape and surrounded by dry mountains and water. It looked like an ancient Japanese palace. However, it was important to note that although the Netherworld Courtyard was open to the public, the main hall of the White Jade Tower …
Swoosh!
As Tang Hao and the others followed Ling Meng through the wide doors into the main hall, a figure rushed out from within the hall. Perhaps it was because the speed was too fast, but all they could see was a blurry shadow. Then, a biting cold blade light descended from the sky!
"An intruder? This is not a place you can come to, hurry up and go back! "
It was only when the sword light descended that the voice reached everyone's ears.
However … you have already chopped him down, what is the point of saying that!
Tang Hao could not help but curse inwardly. As for the others, their faces changed. However, the speed of the intruder was simply too fast. Even Sauron, who had already grasped the hilt of his sword, was unable to react in time.
Pa!
At that moment, Ling Meng reached out with her left hand and pinched the blade that was coming at her. Next, she stretched out her right hand and lightly flicked the head of the intruder with her index finger – dong!
"Argh!" A miserable scream rang out and the intruder fell to the ground.
"Stupid half-spirit, you always cut him down first. You should at least see who the other party is before you attack!" Ling Meng felt a little bored. This type of attack was only effective the first time they met. After two or three times, she had already gotten used to it. Why didn't this fellow try something else?
"Argh … the Shaman of Boli?"
The intruder instinctively raised her head. Only then did she see who the intruder was.
Everyone finally realized that the so-called attacker was just a young girl. Apart from the fact that there was something strange flying around her like a sweet potato, she was no different from an ordinary human girl who was 14 or 15 years old. She did not seem threatening at all.
After seeing the appearance of the intruder, everyone seemed to have forgotten about the sword attack that was so fast that it was almost impossible for the naked eye to capture it. Only … Sauron's expression was somewhat serious.
"This fellow is the half-baked court master of the White Jade Building. She is half human and half spirit. Her name is Soul Yaomeng. However, she is useless. Ignore her and let's go in."
Completely ignoring Yaomeng's existence, Ling Meng casually said to everyone. She moved around Yaomeng and entered the White Jade Building as if she was in her own shrine.
She could not wait to eat a feast.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you all doing? The White Jade Building is not open to the public …"
Yaomeng shouted loudly. However, she did not dare to attack again. Her forehead was still hurting.
